This sums up how they view the FB position. 
"The retirement of Miller – he’s now the special-teams coordinator – and the release of Damian Jackson last month also means the team does not have a fullback on their roster. That said, it’s not necessarily an urgent area of need. The Blue Bombers often use a sixth offensive lineman in short-yardage situations and could also feature a bigger-bodied receiver in fullback-type sets, too, if need be.
“I would believe that as a group – Buck and his group but also JY (Jordan Younger, defensive coordinator) and the defensive staff – they’re always able to fit the pieces together. Do you ‘need’ a fullback? I don’t know. Would you like one? Sure,” said O’Shea.
“We all have our philosophies on that,” added Walters. “If you dress a seventh O-lineman, is he athletic enough to handle that? Sure. Can a bigger receiver do that? Maybe. You don’t need to reach for a fullback that’s going to play eight snaps a game.
“But we obviously don’t have one on our roster and Marty and Buck would sure like to have one. We won’t just grab one at No. 8 (Winnipeg’s pick in the first round) because we don’t have one on the roster. It’s certainly a position group we’ll watch and there are some interesting guys here, two or three fullbacks here and a couple bigger tailbacks we’ve identified.”

He was definitely wasted on something.

Imo, he sounds intoxicated in that video. Am I alone thinking that?

This is an insane take.   
Have you never heard of Chris Benoit?   I've met several people (mostly wrestlers) and MMA/Kickboxers with CTE and it is very obvious that some of them cannot process or think properly and have something very off with them.    
I've also visited nearly every reserve in Manitoba numerous times and what you are saying is something completely different.  Some reserves are fantastic and others remind me of the original Mad Max movies.   For the bad ones usually it has rampant corruption within the reserve where they maintain terrible traditions or behaviours such as pimping out girls when they are 8 years old to friends/family,  lots of alchoal and abuse,   lots of extreme neglect,  all while the bad people are protected by the elders.   Lots of suicides are a result from extreme depression and extreme abuse without being able to escape because everything is covered up.   MMIWG exists because nearly every case is someone within the reserve committing the crime with others covering for each other.   It's really sad.   Suicides in reserves are primarily with younger people ,  I remember 5 or so years ago visiting a reserve where they had an epidemic where 20+ teens committed suicide over the course of one summer.  Naturally the news never covered it.
Usually for the people who can escape these places and find success in life do not commit suicide when they are 50+.  It seems far more plausible that CTE would be the reason.   Many times it is a vicious cycle where someone is in extreme pain from the CTE so they take drugs and the cycle continues to a point where they are so messed that they usually OD.   
 
 

I’d start him 8 out of 15 times. Helle needs a rest. Bro is better than some teams starters. 

You have a real lack of understanding of mental health issues, the factors that lead to them, and the outcomes of mental health. You should educate yourself rather than making unsupported claims. 

Finally, he can pee in peace. 

Would love to not see replays on an even bigger screen!

Unfortunately with such limited space in a concession trailer having a fryer  dedicated to GF isn't really practical.
That being said -- I'm still learning these new items and trailer, and what it's capabilities are. But my immediate thought is it's hard to pull off when your trying to move a line.
HOWEVER,  during the weekdays of May and June we'll be set up in parking lots. I'll put a post in here and tag you and get some gf curds for you. I mean that.
 
 

I'm bummed to hear that about the recent Samsonite models. I guess that some things aren't made the way (or where) they used to be. I was looking at the Samsonite Classic NXT 3 Gusset Briefcase as a replacement for my daily. Makes you nervous when you can't just walk into a store and physically compare them. You just order it, wait until it arrives and hope for the best these days.

I actually just got another trailer for this year, while we're on the crappy deep fried food crap.
Trailer is called " Deep Fried Diablo"
Deep fried cheese curds
Df Cheese cake
Hand dipped corndogs
Df chocolate bars
Df ice cream sandwiches
Df oreo churros
And lemonade
Will be in manitoba may and June before we head west for the summer months... give it a try if your in the neighborhood!

You watch Slow Horses or The Tourist? They're pretty damn good shows.

From writing to directing to acting, everyone involved is outstanding...

Just started watching Shrinking... really enjoying it so far.

It would be hilarious if victor cui bought the elks and fired every one. 

Article doesn't lead me to believe they are in debt with $7M in reserves.
What they are saying is:
They don't know how to restore the season ticket base They don't know how to restore the standing in the community Improve infrastructure Rather then sell, get rid of the board and bring in people who can fix points 1 and 2.  Don't need to sell the club to do that.   For point 3, I find it unlikely a private owner is going to invest a bunch of their own money in infrastructure.  

For me it's not so much the accuracy but the logic behind the picks. 
For example, you can't convince me that the Bombers will go with 2 FB's in their 1st 3 picks of a fairly deep draft because of a "glaring need" at that position (according to Hodge).  That's where he (and their site in general) falls way short.  When you look at how the Bombers use a FB, what makes that a glaring need?  Mike Miller, over the course of 4 seasons with us had 8 catches (10 targets), and 3 carries.   Is that the kind of production you'd want to use a higher draft pick to replace?  I get there's more to the FB role than the odd carry or catch but that's easily replaceable without using draft capitol.

Go figure. A terrible mock from Hodge as usual. I’d be pretty annoyed if we used 2 of our first 4 picks on special teamers. The whole thing seems real unlikely, to be honest. First round seems like a total mess.

The idea for this thread is to both be a meta hobby thread which jumps off into existing hobby threads that are already in here (music, fishing, etc...) as well as to perhaps spark some new ones. It may also help you become better acquainted with some of the posters that you've "known" for many years.
So basically just start by listing your hobbies and interests. You never know who may be lurking here who wants to talk about your classic Lego sets or whatever.
 
I'm Into:
all things motorcycle. Currently still on my Indian Roadmaster, but have owned and ridden all types and sizes of bike. I have taught and trained about a dozen riders over the years and am happy to give advice on how to start out safe and smart. I am Pres of my riding chapter which has a worldwide affiliated chapter system. EDC (Every Day Carry), I spend way too much money refining the common items that I have with me every day. (for those unfamiliar with EDC, think wallet, watch, keys, pocket knife, multi tool, etc) sports wise, obviously the Argonauts are my passion but I am also a long suffering Leaf fan. As discussed elsewhere, I'm also a 28+ year supporter of Manchester City (the only club in Manchester). I am a long time member of a fraternal order which is known and meets around the world. I own a large (and busy) auto repair facility, so any questions about cars or small businesses are welcome Musically, I mostly listen to post-punk, new and classic southern rock, grunge era and classic metal. But I was a radio jock for nearly 7 years and have an appreciation and some knowledge for all types/styles/formats.  
That about does it for me. Looking forward to seeing what you guys do when you aren't busy fretting over who your favorite CFL club may draft in the 4th round for depth.
 
 

Noted! (Switches VPN to "Paraguay")....

Day drinking is no way to go through life.😉

Nic Petan scores the Stanley-Cup winning goal in OT of game 7 against VGK, assisted by Trouba and Roslovic....wouldn't that be something.  

Bro I sell mini donuts for a living. Low grade delicious food is my favorite
